So I'm pretty much finished with papers and everything. I just need to edit my last two papers and submit them in the next few days and then I'm done with this semester! I'm pretty excited about the spring break. I'm definitely going to Sapporo now for the Snow Festival. The friend I'm going with found a flight/hotel package that was only $300, so that'll be a great time. Besides the snow festival, they have this thing in Hokkaido where you can walk with penguins. I really want to do that, and my friend wants to tour the Sapporo beer factory, so it should be an interesting trip. I also start my job at the kindergarten next week. I went there on Wednesday to find the place, meet the owner and see how the classes are run, and I think it's going to be pretty good. The kids are really cute. I'm teaching three classes, one of 3-4 yr. olds, one of 5-6 yr. olds and one of 7 yr. olds, and none of the classes have more than 10 children. We practice writing letters and words, learn colors, sing songs, play games. The most difficult thing is getting the boys to pay attention and sit still, but I think it'll be a fun job. So I'm pretty excited about that. Well, I have to go try and harass a professor during his office hours in an attempt to find out my mid-term paper grade, then I'm off to see Pride and Prejudice tonight. I hope it's good since movies are so damn expensive here. Peace out.

That festival sounds so cool, though personally I'm hoping to go the rest of winter with no snow. I wish you could magically come with us to Tunisia since it is all about the political system and it sounded right up your alley! I miss you
Remember - wax on wax off!
I want to walk with the penguins!
